BECOMING A MONSTER TO FACE LIFE w/ Michael "Multifaceted Monster"| The Hopeaholics Podcast

BECOMING A MONSTER TO FACE LIFE w/ Michael "Multifaceted Monster"| The Hopeaholics Podcast In this episode of the Hopeaholics Podcast, we sit down with Michael, also known as Multifaceted Monster, to hear his raw and powerful journey through addiction, heartbreak, and redemption. Michael opens up about his struggles with alcoholism, codependent relationships, and the chaos of blackout drinking that led to multiple 5150 holds, near-death moments, and broken relationships. He shares how losing himself in toxic environments and self-sabotage nearly destroyed his passion for music, and how heartbreak became the catalyst for truly working the 12 steps and embracing recovery. With honesty and vulnerability, Michael explains the meaning behind his name, “Multifaceted Monster,” as a reminder to accept all sides of ourselves—the light and the dark—while finding balance and healing. Now sober since October 17th, 2023, he reflects on how faith, Narcotics Anonymous, and the willingness to finally surrender have transformed his life, giving him peace, creativity, and a chance to rebuild his career and relationships. Michael’s story is a testament to resilience, reminding us that no matter how far gone you feel, recovery and hope are always possible. #thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarie Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record’, exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics  Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.
